What are the qualifications necessary to be a Wiccan priest or priestess?

Spell work is not for the superstitious.  My thoughts on "it's always been done this way."

Defining Wicca.

The points:

1. Recognition of the Divine as both masculine and feminine.

2. Creation of a sacred space for ritual, by casting a circle.

3. Use of four sacramental tools, which are (a) a knife, dagger or sword (b) a vessel (c) a wand, staff or cane (d) a disk, amulet, pantacle, shield or stone. Each of these are associated with an element and cardinal direction, in any combination.

4. Performance of a ritualized consecration and ingestion of food and drink.

5. Recognition of the 'Sacrament of Initiation' whether within the context of a coven or by a qualified initiator.

6. Recognition of a sacred calendar which is cyclical and has eight major holy days, although some may not be formally celebrated, on or near the following days: February First, the Spring Equinox, May First, the Summer Solstice, August First, the Autumnal Equinox, November First, the Winter Solstice.

7. Use one of several versions of the Wiccan Rede.

8. Belief in the natural law of cause and effect, which has been variously called 'the Law of Return' and 'the Threefold Law' among other appellations.

What does it mean in the Lycian Tradition of Wicca when we say, "we have been taken by the wolves"?  Here I explain part of what it is "to be wolf" in this tradition and also taken by them.

Side Note:
If you consider Lycian Wicca to be your tradition or are interested in Lycian Wicca, then let others know your location on this map and find other Lycians in your area.

Who should we be praying to? If we really want someone on "our side" are the deities the right place to start? Or should we be looking at Our Ancestors for help?

Do we as Wiccans sacrifice animals? What about the food we eat; is it a sacrifice? How concerned are we about how it's done?

Why do spells fail and how can we make them work?

Who or what are the Gods and Goddesses? Who created them?

Although "Otherkin" may be Lycian Wiccans, they may also be of any other religion and the concept of "Otherkin" is not what our faith is about. This is a discussion about the relationship of "Otherkin" astral projection and what it is to be Lycian Wiccan.
